Cougars conclude jampacked weekend with PR’s and top-10 marks
HOUSTON – The University of Houston Track & Field program concluded a solid weekend of outdoor track & field action at the 93rd Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays and the Victor Lopez Classic.
TEXAS RELAYS
The Houston men made a statement reclaiming the Clyde Littlefield 4x100-meter relay title. Nicholas Alexander, Travis Collins, Edward Sumler IV and Shaun Maswanganyi combined for an NCAA-leading time of 38.39. The time ranks second in the world this season and is the fourth fastest time in UH history. The Cougars recorded the fifth sub-39 second finish in program history to win the event for the third time overall and second time in the last three Texas Relays.
Cecilia Tamayo-Garza matched the fifth-best time in program history, securing a fifth-place finish in the event at 23.16. Camille Rutherford continues to have a fantastic freshman season, recording a personal-best time of 11.32 in the 100-meter to take fifth place in the final.
Maswanganyi took little time off, hitting the track again for the 200-meter and taking third-place in the event at 20.31 for the fifth-best time in program history.
Season-best continue to roll in for the Cougars as Dayo Akindele clocked a time of 13.93 in the 110-meter hurdles Invitational for second-place. In the long hurdles, Quivell Jordan finished second behind Cougar alumni Amere Lattin at 50.50.
Destiny Lawrence etched her name into the UH record book with a personal-best in the Triple Jump. She recorded the fifth-best jump in UH history at 12.90m (42-4).
Triston Gibbons had a big day, finishing second in the 'A' Men's Shot Put with a personal-best. He recorded a toss of 18.75m (61-6.25), matching the fifth longest throw in program history.
VICTOR LOPEZ CLASSIC
Regan Lobodzinski recorded a personal-best in the 5000-meter shaving more than 10 seconds off her previous lifetime best to win the event at 17:56.28. Madeline Castleberry secured a second-place finish at 18:01.49.
The Cougar men secured the top three spots in the 100-meter as Jeffery Hulon won the event at 10.97, followed by Lateef Birks Jr. at 11.02 and Alec Williams at 11.08.
